Lake Whitney, LL Qualifiers and the Great Outdoors!

Well Spring has sprung, well officially Friday, but the Outdoor season has begun and with great success to some of the MXF Racing Team.

First off a quick Lake Whitney report. The Gourley boys were in attendance at what sounded like a cold rainy mudfest! Several days racing were altered or canceled by the rain in what sounds like miserable conditions.

I'll start off with the smallest Gourley, Brett. Brett has moved off the 50's into the very competitive 65 class about a Team Green support KX65. Brett finished 19th overall in the 7/9 Stock class and 23rd in the 7/9 Mod class. Pretty impressive work Brett.






Bigger brother Brandon had a pretty impressive week as well! Brandon won the overall in the 65 10/11 Stock class and finished 3rd overall in the 10/11 Mod class. He also raced in the 9/11 85 Stock class but had some problems, but still finished 38th overall in that class. Congratulations on bringing that big fat #1 back to Boonville, Brandon!



Broc ran in the super competitive Super Mini 1 & Super Mini 2 classes. Come to think about, every class at a Amateur National is competitive, but Broc runs with the fastest of the fastest it seems every where he goes. He pulled out a 24th overall in Mini 1, which is fabulous, but he also had some problems in his other class.

Congrats to Team Gourley, the hardest working family in amateur motocross!

Team SIMX backed Dylan Cox was tearing it up early in the week as well, winning his heat in Schoolboy 1. He finished 11th in his 2nd moto for the 8th overall spot! Dylan also had a 15th in 250B Stock and 39th in 450B stock.

Moving a little closer to home was the Paradise MX Loretta Lynn Qualifier in Du Quoin, IL this past weekend as well.

Matthew Bell had a rough weekend with a couple of pretty hard crashes. Dad, James, says he got up and tried to finish motos Saturday and Sunday but just couldn't ride through the pain. This is saying something, cause Matthew is one tough little kid! He hopes to be healed up and back in action here in a couple of weeks for sure!


#188, Davis Uphoff got his regional tickets punched in two classes at Du Quoin. Davis finished 5th overall in 12/13 85 Stock, 6th in 12/13 85 Mod and threw in a 11th overall in Super Mini.





Justin Brockman also will be heading to Sunset Ridge in June looking for a ticket to Loretta's via the Schoolboy 2 class. Justin finished 3rd overall on Sunday with a broken finger!



The old man of the MXF bunch this weekend was Tyler Richey! Tyler may have plans for a long road trip to Millville Minnesota for the Spring Creek Regional in the 450 B Stock class with a 6th overall. Tyler also turned in a pretty solid 14th in the always fast 250B Stock class.






Awesome work men! Congratulations
